Strollers, tired kids and the sun...

Well, we got a new stroller today (2nd hand) its a joovy caboose tandem stroller. I've been looking at them for a while and finally found one at a decent price on craigslist and judah so lovingly went this morning after work and bought it for me! :-)
So after lunch, i took the kids for a stroll over to our local Cutter's Point Coffee (in the Fred Meyer Shopping Center area) and got a coffee and a smoothie for the kids to share. (This week they are having 50% off all their drinks to celebrate summer, yeah cheap coffee for me~!) Josiah very much enjoyed running and it was nice because I could let him with out having to worry about the other two trying to follow suit. He told me "it's fun being all full of energy and running and jumping!"
It was nice cause it was air conditioned in the coffee shop. I've come to realize I don't like the Hot very much at all. I used to back in the teen years pride myself in how much I loved the HOT and hated the cold and while I still hate the COLD cold, like the Minnesota winter cold. I do not like, i even could say I hate the HOT now, anything above 75 (80 if there is a cooler breeze) is too hot for me.
As Judah likes to point out I am a creature of comfort, I like to be comfortable (and who doesn't??) and i can get very irritable if I am not very comfortable.

SO, today on my nice little stroll the sun was hot and the air stagnant and it's a balmy 82 degrees needless to say i was slightly uncomfortable (and slightly irritable) and we are home now and the kids have been sent to bed for naps.

  1. I also hate the heat. You must love washington.
    I think I have lead a surprisingly physically environmentally sheltered life, at least up until I moved here. I do love the winters here, except I need crampons for my shoes.
    Have fun today at the families.
    Love!
